THE GEoLoGJsrs' srATEMENT

After the first impression of the beholder-
one of awe of wonder, almost Of horror
the thought comes, "Herc las been some
mighty convulsion of nature that seems al
most as if it had shaken the earth to its CEN
ter" We can scarcely credit the statement
of biologists that the river III its course for
ages has cut this mighty gorge which has
been wilcnel by the combined agencies of
corrosion and disintcgration. The mechanical
wear of streams as performed by the aid CT
hard mineral fragments carried along by the
| current is enormous. The element of veloc-
ity," says Capt. button, sis of double I'M
portance. The Colorado in this respect is an
exceptional river. The average fall in feet
per mile through tue district of the kaibab
the Grand canyon is l3.01." The same
authority observes: Those who have long
and carefully studied the Grand II of
the Colorado do not hesitate for a moment to
pronounce it by far the most sublime of
earthly spectaclcs. If its sullimity consisted
only in its dimensions it could be sufficiently
set forth in a single sentence. 1t is more
than 200 miles long, from 5 to II wide, and
from 5000 to G.00O feet deep. There are in
the world valleys which are longer and a few
which are deeper. There are valleys thanked
by SUBMITS loftier thar the palisades of the

est thing on earth. 1t is so not alone by virtue
of its magnitude, but by virtue of the whole
its ensemble"
There is Il trail, but Il difficult one, leading
from a point i'll this vicinity to the bottom of
the canyon, and guides can he procured to
conduct the tourist to it. One must have a
very steady head, however, to accomplish the
feat, and be n good strong climber besides.
Some idea Of the task may be had from the
fact that the tripoccupies three days and that
the difficulties Of climbing are so great that
nothing can be transported but n small guam
tity of food. The hardships of. such an ull
dertaking are therefore apparent, Very few
persons nave ever attempted it, but among
them lave been two ladies, upon one Of
whom, as I am informed, the effect of sur
mounting such all incline has left an indeliblt
impression. She has never been the same
woman since.-New York Times.

All the bells Of heaven may ring,
All the birds of heaven may sing,
All the wells on earth may spring
All the wind on earth may bring
All sweet sounds together,
Sweeter far than oil things heard,
Hand of harper, tone of bird.
Sound of woods ut shutdown stirred
Yelling waters winSome word,
Wind in warm, wan weather.
One thing yet there is, that none
Hearing ere its chime be done,
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard Of man beneath the sun,
Hoped in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Very sound of very light,
Heard from mornings rosicst height,
When the soul Of all delight
Fills n child's clear laughter.

A DESPERATELY JEALOUS HUSBAND.
In 1880 Mr.. and Mrs. James Scheely were
married, and have, for long while, been resid-
ing at No. 125 Massa chusetrs avenue. On Tues
day evening Mr.. Scheely saw his wife talking
to Charles Kegmire, and he accused her of
criminal conduct. He gave her a whipping, for
which he was fined by Squire Smock yesterday
morning That did not satisfy him. and he filed
suit for divorce yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Scheely says there is no foundation for his
jealousy.
SUING COY AND PERKINS.
When Andrew Van Slack, the noted confidence
man, was arrested here, four months ago. Sim
Coy and Samuel e. Perkins became his bonds
men. When he was released ne left the city,
and when his trial was called the defendant de-
faulted Suit was brought by Prosecutor
Mitchell against the bondsmen, and yesterday a
Judgment was rendered by Judge Walker for
ST. 600 against Coy and Perkins. They are also
on the forfeited bond of Anderson, Van Stacks
partner, for the same amount, and will have it
to pay. It is pretty generally understood. how
ever, that Coy and Perkins will lose nothing.
Before Van Slack left he made Simeon present
of a diamond pin worth several hundred dollars,
and it is known that two months ago Demo

two men, and he is supposed to have got the
full amount of the bond money for Perkins and

PAYMENT OF A BIG JUDGMENT.
The County Forced to Borrow Money at a
Disadvantage to Pay Big Claim.

The County Commissioners last evening paid
over to the attorneys for the Indianapolis, Deca
tur G Springfield railway $72, $50. the amount Of
the judgment against the county. sustained by
the recent decision of the Supreme Court. In
order to settle the judgment, loan of $40, 900
had to be made and it was negotiated through
q. w. Miller. The money loan was made at 6
per cent interest, payable Jan. /, 1888. but I'm
less there is some relief by legislation hereafter
1t will have to be renewed every year and will
have to be carried indefinitely. The interest
Alone-wlll amount to S., 200 per year. An at
tempt was made to have the Legislature, by a
special act, make levy for the payment of
the amount, but, as they failed to give any re-
lief. the Commissioners cond do nothing but
borrow the money and satisfy the Judgment.
The money should have been in the treasury, as
IL was paid in eighteen years ago. and the law
requires that such money shall be kept as a spe-
slal fund, but it was used contrary to law, and
che paying out of the amount in a bulk is a big
Draw on the county. The attorneys for the rail
road get one-fourth of the amount.

claring unjust the present classification
of wool by the railroads OF the country,
anu directing that they be urgently re-
quested to place wool in their new
classification on basis that would at
least be equal to the present classifca-
tions. They also passed resolution
declaring that recent events have
demo "strated the necessity for central
organization at Washington or else
where, and request all wool growers,
and officers of wool growing associations
in the United States, to Immediately
send their address to Albert Chapman,
at Middleburg, Vt.
